...Heating-oil reserves have been low, and prices sky-high, since April, when a rebounding world economy and OPEC production cuts first began to push up demand. The idea of tapping the reserve in the current climate has been around since last winter (when Gore, by the way, resisted the idea, calling it futile and short-term). Where was the administration then? Well, all summer Gore, as now, was bashing Big Oil, and Richardson, as now, was begging OPEC nations to boost production.
